Title Body

I have this code in an HTML page: alert(JSON.stringify(new Date())); I'm including the latest json2.js (2009-09-29 version) in my page to support older browsers without JSON.stringify(). I also have jquery-1.3.2.js included. I believe in newer browsers with native JSON support, it just passes through to the native JSON feature. Here's the results I get in different browsers: IE 8 on Windows XP: "2010-02-07T21:39:32Z" Chrome 4.0 on Windows XP: "2010-02-07T21:39:59Z" Firefox 3.0 of Windows XP: "2010-02-07T21:40:41Z" Chrome 4.0 on Ubuntu linux: "2010-02-07T21:41:49Z" Firefox 3.0 on Ubuntu linux: "2010-02-07T21:42:44Z" Chrome 4.0 on Mac OSX: "2010-02-07T21:43:56Z" Safari on Mac OSX: "2010-02-07T21:45:21Z" Firefox 3.5 on Mac OSX: "2010-02-07T21:44:10.101Z" Notice the last one? It contains milliseconds, and none of the others do. I don't have FF3.5 installed on any other systems, but I'm assuming they would have the same results. Is there something I can do to make all dates on all platforms stringify the same? My backend REST service can be configured with a format string to deserialize JSON dates, but it can't support multiple formats, just one.
